Tourette Association of America
The Tourette Association of America is the premier nationwide organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those affected by Tourette Syndrome (TS) and related Tic Disorders, who are frequently misunderstood by the general public and the medical community. Our efforts are focused on “awareness, research and support.” The TAA is the largest and most active national network working to educate the general public and the medical community about TS to: • Raise public awareness and foster social acceptance • Advance scientific understanding, treatment options and care • Educate professionals to better serve the needs of children, adults and families challenged by Tourette and Tic Disorders • Advocate for public policies and services that promote positive school, work and social environments • Provide help, hope and a supportive community across the nation • Empower our community to deal with the complexities of this spectrum of disorders Today it is estimated that 1 in 160 (0.6%) school-aged children in the United States has Tourette and that 1 in 100 school-aged children in the United States has TS or another Tic Disorder. Thousands of children and adults may be experiencing the wide range of often misinterpreted behaviors associated with TS and Tic Disorders without understanding the cause—or realizing that help is available. This can result in life-long learning or emotional issues, which could be prevented. Visit Tourette.org to learn more!
